Firms with furloughed staff in Scotland.

The request was refused by HM Revenue and Customs.

Dear HM Revenue and Customs,

Please treat this email as a Freedom of Information Request.

I understand HMRC holds information on the firms that have received support through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and that weekly statistics are published.

I would like further detail on these statistics to date, with regards Scottish employers.

In particular, I would be grateful for the following information:

1. The names of all employers in Scotland that have received support through the CJRS scheme.

2. For each employer, please provide details of the number of furloughed employees, and the value of the support received to date from the UK Government.

3. For each employer, please provide details of the sector of the economy they operate in, their registered company/organisation number if known and their address.

I am interested in all data since the scheme opened.

Please do not provide the requested information in pdf format files. Please supply the requested information in a machine readable spreadsheet such as MS Excel.

I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Yours faithfully,

Ally Tibbitt

Dear Ally Tibbitt,

Freedom of Information Act 2000 Acknowledgement

Thank you for your communication of 8th August which has been passed to
HMRC's Freedom of Information Team.

We have allocated the above reference which you should quote if you need
to contact us.

The Team will arrange for a reply to be sent to you which will either
comply with HMRC's obligations under Freedom of Information Act or, if we
think it's an enquiry that we don't need to address under the terms of the
Act, let you know why. If it is the latter we will, if possible, pass it
on to a more appropriate part of the Department for answer.

As you will appreciate, the coronavirus pandemic has provided
unprecedented challenges for Government Departments including HMRC. Over
the coming weeks our priorities are to provide critical existing and new
Public Services for Government to support customers during this difficult
time. As a result, resources may be diverted away from usual compliance or
information rights work. HMRC aims to respond to all FOIA Requests within
20 working days. If for whatever reason this timescale cannot be complied
with HMRC will, where possible, write to you explaining the reason for the
delay and providing an estimated time for response.

Yours sincerely

HMRC Freedom of Information Act Team
